As you can see, that’s a lot of text to just write out: “Property debug is now = TRUE”.

To assist in reading these log files, I use the trace32.exe program written by Microsoft. You can download this program for free at Microsoft as part of the: “System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Toolkit” This program displays MDT log files in a easy to read format.

Another cool feature of trace32.exe is that it does a good job of monitoring changes to the log files when being written to. You can see the changes being performed in real time within trace32.exe.
